Cool. I'd like to draft the instructions on the wiki; they'll actually
appear on jokosher.org itself when we release 0.2, of course.

See "it needs a progress bar in a window" above ;)

Well...on further thought about this, the script is clever enough to
know that it's done all the downloading, so when you run it a second
time it just runs Jokosher straightaway. So my inclination is to say
"just click the script to run it"; if they want to put it on their
desktop, or in their home folder, or whatever, that's fine. Doesn't
need a link, really; they must have run it once, so they already know
how to do that by the time a desktop link would be useful.
